Reed Smith's (Free) Third Quarterly Teleseminar on Climate Change is September 28
This post was written by David Wagner.
Please join us for our next quarterly report on climate change from 12 to 1 pm on Tuesday, September 28. In this one-hour teleseminar, Larry Demase, Jennifer Smokelin, Todd Maiden and David Wagner will provide an update on significant international, national and state issues concerning climate change and the future of greenhouse gas (GHG) regulation. Following up on Congress' failure to pass energy and climate legislation over the summer, our topics include:
- A review of two USEPA proposed rules that would help ensure USEPA’s implementation of permitting requirements for GHGs, set to take effect in January 2011. The first proposed rule identifies State Implementation Plans that do not currently apply certain requirements to GHG emitting sources, and requires them to be modified. In the second rule, EPA is proposing a Federal Implementation Plan that will apply in any state that cannot (or does not) revise its state plan by January 2011.
- A discussion on the likelihood that California's Proposition 23 will pass in November (which would postpone implementation of California's Global Warming Solutions Act, aka "AB 32"), an assessment of the true scope of Proposition 23, and practical implications for California businesses.
- A discussion on the United Nations halting issuance of carbon credits for Chinese Clean Development Mechanisms.
- An update on stalled Congressional action with regard to climate regulation.
